To all whom it may concern.;

.Be it lmown'that I, OSCAR HAUGE, a subject of the King of Norway (but having declared my intention to become 4a "citizen of `the United States) residing at St. Paul, in the countyof Ramseyand'State lof Minnesota, 'have 'invented` a new` and useful Machine for Making ,Pastry Cones vforf Ice- Cream, of which the following isa specification, f v

,M invention relates to machines `for .mol ing and baking"cone-shay ed pastry cups for ice cream; and thevfo ject is to further improve on themachinedescribed in v'my application filed Serial Number 412,700.

In the accompanying drawin l, I `igu1fl "1' isa top or plan view of the comp ete device. Fig. 2 is a f-vertieal-seetion on the line (1r-a in Fig. 1 except as to the gas burnerwhich l1s as partly opened. Fig. 4 isv a side view and Fig. 5 is an end view Aof the `end portion ofthe handle bars by which the molds areheld yclo'spld and turned. Fig. 6 is amodiication of tV e upper cone to the left in Fig. 2 andv i Fig.` 7.' is a `modiiication of the lower cones.

307 Referring to the drawings by `reference numerals, 1 desi natesa hollow supporting frame secured y bolts 2. upon wooden blocks 3,v ywhich may be placed u on Vany table or bench 4'. Within said rame is provided a gas burner 5, having a gas supply pipe 6 and is adapted to furnish the necessary ire and heat to the molding device arranged above the lre. Said molding de,-V

vice is formed of two plates'haped members,

gether at' 9 and thandle bars 11, ov which' one 1s provided with a pivoted bail 12 ada ted to en age over the other arm and thus iold the p ates close together during the baking'- p process.` When the two members are thus closed. their-'arms 10 and 1'1 format 13 and vll rnotchesll in frame 1.'

v The plate 7 isforrned with any' desired` ,January 27th, 1908,`

'y and 8, havinor hinge 'bars 1U ivoted t o journals resting in o en vbearings 'or' theupper e ge of the hollow:

number `of cones or cups 17, into which the dough is placed, and the plate 8 is provided with internal cones 18 adapted tov descend in the dough, lone in each of the external cones 17, leaving a space between each inner and outercone invwhichthe pastry cone 1s thus formed and held until baked, when the form is opened and the pastry cones removed.4 1n Fi 3. on"e of the pastry cones is indicated in dotted lines 19 as sticking on the internal cone `of the mold.

"As the pastryy cones, cornets or horns, as they yare. variously, termed, will often stick to either theinner or outer cones of vthe mold,I after they are baked, I, providel two strip-l plates 20 and21, of which the plate20 ts snpgly aboutthe upper end of t e inner cones, where itis normally held by headed' stems `22, 23 and springs 24 thereon above the plate 8;`and the plate 21 fits about the said cones so loosely as to leave an annular Aspace 25 for the strengthening rim of each pastry cone, around and artly below which rim the late engages Vto ift the pastry cone out of tiie'outer metallic cone. Said stripandopposite o said arm another atV arm 28,l extending for some distance between the handle bars 1.1 and is securable to one of the latter b a slidable ring 29. Said flat arm or handleJ 28 has a side linger 30 by which it may be operated from the side of the handle .bars 11'.,

l In line with the segmental edges of the moldQplate Z'are secured by screws 31., segmentally curved trimming blades 32 suspended `below the edges of the plate so as to leave a `slit 33 for the' escape of the surplus vdough when the molds are lled and closed together. The'lower plate 8 carries similar blades 32x secured by screws 31X. These blades iit closely over the outer curved facesM of theupper blades so as to coact with them in trimming oil" the black burned dough 34 projecting outward through the registering `slits or escape gates 33 and 33X as the molds start to open from their closed` position, in order to get rid of said. black stuff before the pastry cones are exposed to contact therewith. As soon as this is done the cones Vare removed, sticking together by the intervenlng sheet ol pastry between their top edges,

from which sheet the y are atterward sepafrom the arm 28 and giving a tap on the inger or button 30, whereby the lower stripper is operated and raises the cones as 19X in `ig. 3. t

To facilitate the breaking or separating of the pastry cones from each other or lrom the sheet connecting them, .thelower stripper plate is formed with an annular groove a short distance beyond the space l'or the rim of each pastry cone, so that the dough in the groove 35 strengthens the sheet, while the ridge 42 between the grooveand the said space' creases the dough and thus weakens it at the breaking line.

As for speciiic improvements and modiications, it will be noted that the upper cones are hollow for large pastry cones,to admit heat to their interior, while for small pastry cones the upper cone may be solid as at 18a in Fig. 6, but in either case the cone is secured to the plate by two screws 37 passed through the plate, and the plate has an opening 38't0 admit heat to the interior cone when said late is turned downward toward the fire. o enable the use ofr such screws even though the inner cone may be quite thin, the cones are made with internal ein bossments 39 for the threaded ends of the screws to engage, and the plate has similar lugs 40 with holes for. the screws to pass through, said holes being larger than the screws so as to admit adjustment ol" each cone to a central position in the lower cones.

In Fig. 7 is shown how the lower concs may be screw threaded at 41 into the plate 7 holding them. This enables the cones to be exchanged for other cones of a different size,

or for replacing by new ones when burned out. It is also preferable in the manufacture of the molds to nishthe cones one by one and then secure them to the plate.

Having thus described lmy invention what I claim is 1. In a device of the kind described, the combination of two members hinged to gether and provided one withouter hollow cones and the other with inner cones adapted to go into the outer cones and form intervening spaces for dough, two stripper plates Vinterposed between t e two members, one

for stripping the pastry .cones from the outer cones and the other for stripping them from i i t:

to go into the outer cones and form iuiervcning spaces for the dough, shearingr blades tixed upon the edges of 'said' members and passing one beyond the other when the members are closed and coacting with each other as the 'f' members separate, so as to trim away the baked surplus dough projecting .from be tween the members.

3. In a device of the kind described, the

combination of two members hinged together and provided one with outerihollow -cones and the other with inner cones adapted to go into the outer cones and form intervcning spaces for the dough, two stripper plates interposed between the two members. one for stripping the pastry cones from the ouior cones and the other for stripping them l'rom .the inner cones, and means lor actuating cach of said strippers independently of the other,

and means for holding each stripper normally in idle position, one of said strip-- pers having :in annular space about cach in ner cone to form a rim about the large end ol' the eene and beyond such space an annular groove with an intervening7 annular ridge, for

the purposes set forth,

4. In a device of the kind described, thtVA combination ot two members hinged together and being rovided one with outer hollow cones and t ie other with inner concs adapted to go into the outer conos and form intervening spaces for the dough, said member holding the inner cones ha ving apertures for the tire or heat to reach the large ends` ol' the cones, and said cones having each :in iuside cavity registering with the aperture in `the member.
